Pixel size for epub books?

Should the pixel size when creating a book for iTunes with an epub format be different or the same as with ibooks author?

  • Optimum Pixel size for Video????

    I used to make my video files 720x486 (0.9px) D1 and they would come out nice... now with iDVD 6 It seems to be scrunching my video (adding small black bars on top and bottom) and causing distortion. What is the optimum video pixel size for the standard and widescreen settings of iDVD??
    cheers@!

    Quoting F Shippey:
    If you live in 'NTSC land', Apple suggests that you use 720x540 pixel images for standard video and 854x480 pixel images for widescreen.

  • What is the required book cover image size for ePub?

    Hi all
    I am trying to follow the insturcitons in the Publisher Setup guide for uploading my ePub file to the iBook store. Having gone through this process with Amazon I am gobsmacked by how unhelpful the guidance is from Apple.
    It is asking me for a cover image but I cannot see anything telling the required spec for this - on Amazon they tell you min and max dimensions and what the required dpi is but (unless I've missed a whole bunch of instrucitons somewhere!) I see no such info in the guide or in the iTunes connect screens.
    Can someone please help me here?  After googling I found these forum pages and saw that someone had said the cover image must be at least 600dpi and max height of 740 pixels - is that right? (odd as on Amazon you only need 72dpi!)
    Just in case anyone can help here too - my ePub file already has the cover image included in it - do I therefore need to separetely add this standalone cover image?
    Really grateful if anyone can help on this.
    Many thanks
    Karen Inglis

    From Apple about book covers:
    JPEG with “.jpg” extension (quality unconstrained) or PNG with “.png” extension
    RGB (screen standard)
    600 pixels minimum along the larger axis. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400x600minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
    Covers may not reference pricing, the physical edition, or include any other wording that may notnecessarily be true for the digital edition.
    Yes, a separate cover file is needed for display. My experience is if you have a cover for Amazon that is 600 px or greater on the longest side, you are fine with Apple.
    Step back and take a breath. We all go through this the first time.

  • Jpeg size for iphoto books?

    Hi, have found that some of my jpegs are to small in size to print properly for books. Does anyone know what size is best for making books?

    The best size is as large as you can get. iPhoto will
    Default DPI Settings in iPhoto 7's Preference File
    BookTargetDPI - 300
    BookTargetMediumDPI-300
    BookTargetSmallDPI - 300
    BookWarningImageDPI - 180
    PrintImageDPI - 720
    PrintWarningImageDPI - 140
    So if the photo you put in a frame will be printer at less than 180 dpi you'll get the warning label. A photo might give you that warning at a full page frame but will be OK in a 2 photo/page frame. I've have photos print with that warning and they looked OK. What are the pixel dimensions of your smallest photo. The smallest I've used is 1600 x 1200 and created a whole book with that size. I did not have any full page photos however.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • What is the suggested pixel sizes for audiobook images?

    I know album art is 600 x 600 for music. Does the audiobook format use these same dimensions? Or more of a rectangle size instead of perfect square?
    Thanks!

    Are you creating the artwork or getting it from the Internet? If you're downloading it, there's not much consistency in format. Some publishers size the art as if it came from a paperback book cover, others size for CD jewel cases. The more recent stuff is 600x600.

  • What pixel size for A5 on iPad 2?

    I need to make some A5 leaflet in Photoshop Touch on my iPad 2.
    I don't know what pixel size to use for A5. I was told 2480x1754 but this prints way too small on my printer.
    Any ideas?!
    Thanks.

    I don't see a way to at least increase the quality in the apps that the Photosmart uses. Still, it might not be the printer's fault since you can't set the DPI in PS Touch...at least not yet. What's the default at? 72 DPI?

  • Pixel size for web

    So i downloaded a flash temp for my bands website. It is my first attempt at flash. The background pixel size is 766x750. I worked off this and am finished the site. Now however when i upload my site it doesn't fill the screen.It's more of a square! I have tried putting 100% in the html publish settings and that works but now everything is stretched and looks awful. Please tell me there is a way around this that doesn't involve re sizing every image in photoshop and re importing it!!!
    thanks in advance
    DR

    A stage of that size is going to be roughly square in shape. If you want your movie to stretch or shrink to fit/fill the user's screen, then you need to use artwork that will look good in enlargement or reduction. There's nothing wrong with using a static size for your movie.

  • Best Image File Type & Size for Photo Books?

    When you select your photos to be included in a Photo Book submission, is there a required file type and maximum size. Most of my images are presently Photoshop .psd files and TIFF files of substantial size -- around 2 to 4MB, that I will have to import into iPhoto '09. Thanks.

    Interesting. Presently, all my image files are at 300 dpi.
    Remember that DPI has no meaning for a digital file - digital files have only dots - the per inch part comes form the print size so until you select a print size you had only "d" - not "dpi" - that is a totally meaningless number
    See +The Myth of DPI+ for more information
    How exactly is print size determined in the photo books -- from your selection
    Obviously from your selection - you place a photo into a frame and the frame size is the size
    You may want to take the tutorial for more information - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#books
    or, whatever size results from the image resolution.
    remember that images have no inherent size - they are just dots (pixels)
    Is the ideal resolution 300 dpi? Thanks.
    any image that will print at 180dpi or above will give good results (and will not get a resolution warning)

  • Actual page size for large books?

    Forgive me if this particular info appears in one of the forums, but I've searched and searched to no avail. I want to put together a book, and want to lay out the pages myself using the full bleed option in iPhoto. At 300dpi, what is the actual print size of the pages for the various books?
    Thanks in advance!
    -andrew

    Just try one, you will see quickly when you are laying it out what happens on a one-per-page when you select the entire page option. It is pretty simple. Even if the photo is not the right ratio of height to width, it gets there, if it not what you want, crop it to 4:3 first.

  • Customize TOC for epub book

    Hi,
    I have a book file in ID CS6, containing ten chapters each one in its own document starting with Heading 1 style for "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2",  "Chapter 3" etc. It also contains some more documents for cover, copyright notes, acknowledgement, publisher's info etc (not formatted at all).
    Well, when I export it to epub and open it in Adobe Digital Editions a TOC is generated from the file names of all the documents.
    Is there a way to exclude the entries I don't want to be there?
    Furthermore, can I control the text of each entry? eg for the file "cr.indd", I want the text "Copyright notes" in TOC.
    Thank you

    Short answer to your question: You can control the navigational TOC by creating a TOC Style (Layout > Table of Contents Style) and including a paragraph style which you want which pulls the headings you want into the TOC.
    You then call out that TOC Style on the General panel of the EPUB Export dialog.
    It sounds like you need to get some basic information about creating EPUBs. Here are the two best sources I know:
    (1) The eBooks of Elizabeth Castro:
    http://www.elizabethcastro.com/epub/
    (2) Anne-Marie Concepcion's videos on Lynda.com. She's produced videos on creating EPUB from InDesign CS5, 5.5 and 6. www.lynda.com. (If Bob Levine sees this, he'll add a week-long free link for Lynda.com.)

  • Optimum pixel size for album artwork?

    When I search for artwork I see very many different sizes available such as, 50x50, 400x400, etc. What is the optimum size to use in iTunes when the artwork will be displayed on an iPod, an iPhone, and an iPad? If I understand correctly, iTunes will resize the artwork to display properly on the devices, but I was wondering if I should look for a "standard" size to add to iTunes that will still look correct whether it is on an iPod or an iPad.

    Of course it also depends upon how much space you have on your drive, and how much space on a player if you add them to mp3s or whatever. Perhaps not a huge difference but if you start adding 500k image files to 20,000 tracks then it does add up to a GB or two.

  • Any reader app for epub books for ipad 5.1.1?

    appreciate any help here
    TIA,
    Sterling

    What you need to do is:
    1) Opened up iTunes on my desktop.
    2) Went to Store (left hand column)->iTunes Store.
    3) Searched for Netflix; downloaded the app.
    4) Open App Store on your IPad.
    5) Click on Purchased, you will have to install NetFlix by clicking on it as usual.
    App Store will ask you:"Download an older version of this app. The current version requires iOS 6.0 or later, but you can download the last compatible version.", just click on Download and that's it.
    You can install any app like that.
    Hope it helped.

  • Suitable Page Size for Fixed Layout

    What could be a suitable Page Size for EPUB Fixed Layout? Is there a best practice? Should we take iBook Author's format which is 768 x 1004 pt? Has Google Play Books any suggestions (I didn't found any...).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Calculating image sizes for ibookstore submission

    I have the new ipad...so all my graphics look great, but I am having a hard time finding the exact method for determining image size for a book I am submitting to ibookstore. Can anyone point me to a way to calculate the best and largest images for ibooks

    For all those who are still confused by Apples image restrictions / requirements...
    In the new Template chooser after the recent updates is "Antique". This template has a Chapter background image ( the olde world print of sailing ships in blue litho print style ). This print when opened in PS is 2771 x 1506 @72ppi. 2771x1506=4,173,126 pixels.This implies  Apple supply a book which does not comply with its own requirements!
    Higher  image resolution applied to printed photo inmages, make the image sharper. If for example you wanted to print a wall poster 45inches  wide, the  image needs needs a higher resolution to cater for the size, BUT the same image used for a 45" poster will print 4.5" wide print on your own printer!
    iBA full page is deemed to be 1024 x 748. resolution from Apple is 72ppi. An image with those specifications will be OK in iPad & iPad 2 - but not so sharp on a Retina display especially if zoomed larger on screen
    Now it seems 2048 x 1496 - double the original image size is suggested for Retina.
    You  can change an image in PS i.e. 1024 x 748 and change resolution to 144. PS will double the pixel size as you change the resolution. OK, just change pixel sizes back to 1024 x 748 and reolution is now 144.
    That indicates a sharper image which will be suitable for retina display and in fact all current iPad models.
    Today my 11th photo book was notified as available  in the iBook Store, all my images were pre-formatted at 2048 x 1496 @ 150ppi.   ( 2048 x 1496 = 3.063,808 pixels!)
    During delivery there were no issues flagged and after delivery no tickets.
    So I suggest all those folk pondering images sizes follow my example, which  is now proved to be accepatble!
    One thing puzzles me though, I dont use all images as full page and  they can  be masked down to - say - 250 x 200.  Should  just  make an image to fit the size I  want to display ??

  • Photo image size for letterpress card

    I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
    The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
    How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
    Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
    NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do. 
    I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
    Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Best,
    Kurt

    I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
    You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
    the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
    "Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
    The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
    The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo
